Summary

This paper is a continuation of [2, 3]. It contains anALGOL program for the incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind based on a theory described in [4]. This program replaces the inadequate one based on the Gauß-transformation which was published in [2]. In addition, anAlgol program for a general complete elliptic integral is presented.
